As I posted in here, I've just passed my LPI 101 exam.

I know it's not Sun, but generally I'd say that its worthwhile knowing all the caveats of certain commands and principles. A lot of its basic stuff, but you'll find some "trick" questions in the exam designed to catch you out. The best way around this is to read the question very carefully.

I did notice a couple of errors within the questions in the LPI exam, which wasn't very good form. i.e.

What directive indicates what fonts are available to X in the XF86Config file?

The answer was, of course, FontPath "unix/:7100" but the question was incorrect, as it doesn't indicate what fonts are available, it indicates that a font server is running locally and it should look there for its fonts.

So also be logical - if a question seems ambiguous, then look at the answers and remove those that are obviously incorrect.

Cheers

DESCRIPTION

       talkd is a server used by the talk(1) program.  It listens at the  UDP port indicated in the ``talk'' service description; see services(4).
       The actual conversation takes place on a  TCP connection that is established by negotiation between the two machines involved.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

NOTES

       The protocol is architecture dependent.

       The in.talkd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

	 svc:/network/talk

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil-
       ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config-
       uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
